WITH MEMBERS OF THE UNITED NATIONS SPLIT ON HOW TO HANDLE SADDAM HUESSIN
IT LOOKS LIKE PRESIDENT BUSH DOESN'T WANT TO WAIT ANY LONGER.
CBS NEWS HAS LEARNED THE PRESIDENT WILL SEND A RESOLUTION TO CONGRESS
TODAY ASKING FOR MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY TO DEAL WITH THE IRAQI LEADER.
WHAT HE WANTS IS APPROVAL FOR THE USE OF MILITARY FORCE.
(SOT- President Bush)
Its an important signal for the world to see that this country is
united in our resolve with threats that we face
THE ADMINISTRATION STARTED MAKING ITS CASE WEDNESDAY.
ON CAPITOL HILL DEFENSE SECRETARY DONALD RUMSFELD URGED LAWMAKERS TO
AUTHORIZE POSSIBLE MILITARY ACTION EVEN BEFORE THE U-N SECURITY COUNCIL
COMES TO A DECISION.
(SOT-Donald Rumsfeld/Secretary of Defense)
delaying a vote in congress would send the wrong message, in my view as
were asking the international community to take a stand
AS PART OF THAT STAND THE U-S IS ALSO TRYING TO DRAFT A RESOLUTION AT
THE UNITED NATIONS THAT WOULD ALLOW THE USE OF FORCE IF BAGDAD FAILS TO
COMPLY WITH U-N DEMANDS.
BUT SEVERAL COUNTRIES INCLUDING RUSSIA AND CHINA AREN'T GOING ALONG.
HOWEVER, THE WHITE HOUSE BELIEVES THAT WILL CHANGE.
(SOT-Ari Fleischer/Press Secretary)
Were confident that, at the time that vote takes place, that the world
agree. What choice does the world have?
STANDUP:
THE LEGISLATION HERE AT HOME IS EXPECTED TO BE APPROVED OVERWHEMINGLY.
CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS HAVE PROMISED A VOTE BY THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.
BUT WITH PRESIDENT BUSH SENDING THE RESOLUTION TODAY THAT VOTE COULD
COME MUCH SOONER.
